"Run It!" is the debut single by American R&B singer Chris Brown, featuring American rapper Juelz Santana. It was written by Santana, Sean Garrett and Scott Storch, and produced by the latter. It was released in 2005 and is Brown's first career single, off his debut album Chris Brown. The song was a hit in the United States, spending five consecutive weeks atop of the Billboard Hot 100, making Brown the third male act (Montell Jordan was the first in 1995) to have his debut single reach the spot. "Run It!" also peaked number one in Australia and New Zealand and number two in the United Kingdom. It has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. A remixed version of "Run It!" appears on the album, featuring producer Jermaine Dupri and rapper Bow Wow.

[edit] Music video

The music video, directed by Erik White, portrays a school dance inside a gym, where Brown meets a girl that he is suddenly attracted to and with whom he wants to dance. The video gives long dance sequences throughout. At the end, the security guards arrive, and the whole gym is evacuated. However, as soon as the guards find nobody there, they start dancing. Brown says the solo dances were freestyles. The video debuted in October 2005 and received nominations for Best New Artist and Viewer's Choice at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, lost to Avenged Sevenfold.
